hi im new to this
but i have a 2000 7.3 with a hypermax turbo i just did the o rings in the pedistal bc i had a massive oil leak now after replaceing i still have a leak coming from the same spott on the back on the engine between the starter and the pan. the valley is dry now after doing the o rings, what should start to check now? it only leaks when the truck is running some times a constant drip and other times just drip. please help me!!
thanks
Cyle

 

is there oil in the turbo or just around the pedistal?

 

there is nothing in the valley, i belive, i just did the o rings in the pedistal. and have watched it and nothing .

 

did the o-ring seat right on the pedistal and is the turbo seated properly? not questioning your competence but its dark there

 

yes there is not oil comming from the pedistal or turbo

the hypermax turbo and pedistall is two parts and the pedistal orings are seated differently in the pedistal. its not leaking at all from them or the oil suppy line or the return line .

 

Could be a rear main leak, but I doubt it...

 

check and see if the oil is coming from the dipstick where it goes into the pan, thats where mine is leaking... thought it was from higher up until i cleaned everything off and left it running over my oil pit
